The Spirit of Christmas
December 25, 2021

It’s all too much, the floor strewn with gifts
we couldn’t possibly deserve. But our son
is happy, going from toy to toy, and so
are we, smiling along with him as he plays
with the train, the trucks, the scooter.

Tonight our son will sleep fitfully, dreaming
what gifts tomorrow will bring. Exhausted,
we’ll gather up the trash, question what
can be recycled and what cannot, wonder
how long until these toys too turn to trash,
until we run out of things to make us happy.
